NYE double header vs Cold Hearted Killers

[BrisRecky]

Bloody hell, Natey used his head for something other than stretching a head band
⚽🤙🌴🌴🌴

That's a clear yellow card on the tattooed prisoner.

 

[Jerem]

I’ll never understand subs with six minutes to go at 1-1

 

[shipwreck]

How did Theo get a yellow and Storm didn't for that 😂

 

[Wedgie]

What a contrast the 2nd half was, Theo made a huge difference.
Nice to end the year not on a loss at least.
Have a great New Year all, and what a year it was!

This might get me banned but Paull and Wilson two of our best tonight. Much improved second half and the energy the subs brought was a huge factor. If our starting XI put that level of effort and heart in we wouldn’t have wasted a half.

Theo also a big influence. Still up for dumb yellow though.

Nice interview with Nathan. Hope this does wonders for his confidence.

Most of the boys look relaxed (relieved!) Let’s hope they can get it together for the next one. Tight turn around.

I was honestly thinking Wilson would score next. Crazy times.

had at least one very nice shot blocked. Wouldn’t have been undeserved

Much improved second half against a second to third string City side, Theo and especially Wilson had an impact. When we actually competed against them and not just sit back with the 5 at back we were more than a match. Hopefully that spells the end of the 5 at the back system.

My MoM:
3 Nathan Paull
2 Alfie McCalmont
1 Mikael Doka

 

[Robbiemariner]

We had a bloody go at em ..... simples

 

[FFC Mariner]

Wilson must start next.

 

[Meerkat]

Wilson must start next.

You say this. But every time we say this. It does not work out.

What I don’t understand is why we always seem to be better in the second half. Regardless of line up. Saving grace today was, we weren’t 3 down at half time.

 

[Elite]

Paull and Wilson two of our best tonight

Agree. Very critical of both but credit where credits due.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Paull not following the runs of Atkinson

Do you actually watch the game or just blame Paull by default.

Surprised you didn't pin the goal on him .

 

[booney]

A real arm wrestle in the first half.No shots at goal by us in the first half and two by them,including the header which resulted in a goal.More energy in the second half and Wilson and to an extent Theo pressed well. Wilson hit a cracking shot resulting in a good save by Beach

Great to see Paull scoring and he had a good game.Sains needs another 2-3 games to show us his wares.

 

[booney]

Paull is playing pretty well. There I said it!

Well said and for me MOTM

 

[Ancient Mariner]

First half the players looked totally lost with a new formation 5 2 2 1.

It turned out being 7 defenders and 3 lost forwards and the usual toothless attack was replaced by no attack.

No one knew what their role was… yet again.

Brandtman, Doka and Kuol, may have well not played. Seven defenders playing against ten attackers.

Jackson moving Doka to left wing back was a necessary move which allowed him to get in the game and gave us some decent attack. Both he and Storm both then played higher. Our left side with Doka and Harris then caused City a lot of angst.

Kaltak looked more comfortable in the centre of defence but was still worryingly threatened a couple of times by City’s press and got in trouble. It was good to see Trent get more minutes in his legs. It is vital he finds form and fitness quickly.

Paul is gaining in confidence and looking better every game, as is Alfie who is covering a lot more ground.

Wilson ran around a lot and had a solid shot blocked. Maybe if I watch the replay I may see more.

There are still too many round pegs in square holes. Hopefully Jacko with all his shuffling is learning and starting to work out what fits where. At present the light at the end of the tunnel is still not visible.

Hopefully January becomes an interesting month. If not the NPL starts in February.

However wilson 🤫 is one of the best strikers of the ball we have.

His problem is dribbling and passing. He was trash there later with Storm but he at least brought much needed energy and a few really good strikes.

Credit where it’s due

He's got a very good shot on him and he's pretty big and physical. That's all though.
